Rice is a staple of all Asian nations and is transported in colorful sacks rich with advertising design. The sacks have been filling up landfills, but are now 100% recycled, and used for making bags and accessories. A true success story in repurposing waste, but this is only part of the story. Each handcrafted piece is cut and sewn by physically challenged and disadvantaged workers, providing sustainable employment to people forgotten by their own governments. Every purchase helps a single mother, a landmine or polio victim, or a family displaced by years of war take a step towards economic independence.
